Micromax Unite 3 hard reset

Micromax Unite 3 hard reset recovery menu

You can try to enter the Android Recovery menu on your micromax device, but please note that not all firmware supports it, and if there is no option to enter this recovery mode to "wipe data" or "Factory reset" your device, you won't be able to enter this menu. If these options will be available in a future ROM / Firmware release than you should try the following method to enter the menu.

Fully charge the phone.

Turn on the device by pressing the volume UP and power key together. Press power for a few second release it but keep pressing the Volume key a little bit longer.

When Micromax and Android logo shows up release the Vol key.

Wait until you see an Android figure lying on its back.

If recovery menu appears follow 6. When you see "No command" with the Andorid robot press POWER shortly (or +Vol up) to display the recovery menu.

When Android system recovery menu appears... go and

Highlight wipe data/Factory reset using volume down key.

Confirm with power or Cancel using BACK key.

Select with Vol - Yes -- delete all user data and confirm using power key.

After hard reset is done, highlight reboot system now and confirm your selection.

Note! All data will be deleted! Be sure to backup your user data before doing a hard reset.

If the first method not working try the following which is very similar, but the device displays a Factory Test boot selection menu
